    Subject[PATCH 14/16] nbd: Set SOCK_MEMALLOC for access to PFMEMALLOC reserves
    Date
    Set SOCK_MEMALLOC on the NBD socket to allow access to PFMEMALLOC
    reserves so pages backed by NBD, particularly if swap related, can
    be cleaned to prevent the machine being deadlocked. It is still
    possible that the PFMEMALLOC reserves get depleted resulting in
    deadlock but this can be resolved by the administrator by increasing
    min_free_kbytes.
